Can you terminate New York probation early?

  Yes.  New York law gives judges the authority to release defendants from probation early.  (Generally, to be released from probation early you have to pay off your fines, complete at least half of your probation and complete all court ordered classes and treatment.)

New York Criminal Procedure § 410.90 Termination of sentence. 

    1.  The  court may at any time terminate either a period of probation,

  other than a period of lifetime probation, for conviction to a crime  or

  a period of conditional discharge for an offense.

    2.  The  court may terminate a period of probation for a person who is

  subject to lifetime probation and who has been  on  unrevoked  probation

  for at least five consecutive years.

    3.  (a)  The court shall grant a request for termination of a sentence

  of probation under this section when, having regard to the  conduct  and

  condition of the probationer, the court is of the opinion that:

    (i) the probationer is no longer in need of such guidance, training or

  other assistance which would otherwise be administered through probation

  supervision;

    (ii)  the  probationer  has  diligently  complied  with  the terms and

  conditions of the sentence of probation; and

    (iii) the termination of the sentence of probation is not  adverse  to

  the protection of the public.

    No  such  termination  shall  be granted unless the court is satisfied

  that the probationer, who is otherwise financially able to  comply  with

  an  order  of restitution or reparation, has made a good faith effort to

  comply therewith.

    (b) The court shall grant a request for termination of a  sentence  of

  conditional  discharge  under  this  section  when, having regard to the

  conduct and condition of the defendant, the  court  is  of  the  opinion

  that:

    (i)   the  defendant  has  diligently  complied  with  the  terms  and

  conditions of the sentence of conditional discharge; and

    (ii) termination of the  sentence  of  conditional  discharge  is  not

  adverse to protection of the public.

  My Story:  I'm a regular guy who got into trouble and pled guilty to a felony.  I went to prison and served my time.  I was always on my best behavior.  I paid off my fines early and complied with the judge's orders.  To make a long story short, I was able to get off probation two years early.  I wrote and filed my motion to terminate probation early by myself.  I didn't have the money to hire a lawyer.  I can assure you that my story is completely true.
